Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop PC, 15.6 FHD IPS w/ 144Hz Refresh, Intel i7-8750H, GTX 1060 6GB, 16GB DDR4, 256GB NVMe SSD, Aeroblade Metal Fans PH315-51-78NP

The machine is quite fast as expected from the specifications, the one thing I did not like was the aesthetics of the machine. So essentially performance wise it is a good purchase, especially for the price but the design could have been much better

As soon as this thing arrived I unboxed it to set things up. Right off the bat the screen started flickering. Youtube screen flickering Acer Predator Helios 300 for some examples of what this looks like. It flickered so bad that I could not browse the internet or play a game. I ended up repackaging it and returning it to Amazon that day. I called customer support and they could not fix it but said that theres a hardware issue and that I should mail it to them for repair. This would probably fix the issue, but why should I spend $1000 on a laptop that comes broken, and then wait weeks for it to be mailed, repaired, and returned for a chance that it will be fixed? Theres plenty of other laptops of this quality on the market around the same price that probably have a better build quality. I think the specs on this thing are incredible but its clear they achieved this by cutting costs elsewhere.

Great laptop. I’ve finally been able to play many of my games (Civ IV, Total war, etc.) without issue and hopefully new games to come. The battery life is garbage when you play games maybe an hour or two at most. They’ve installed Norton on the laptop it’s going to annoy some people as it did me. The storage size is rather small but for the price I paid for this laptop it more than makes up for this. All in all the laptop is a good starter one especially if you only have a few games that you ever play.

It works fantasticly and runs any game I put on it well

Love this laptop

I wanted to like this laptop. However, the heating issues are irredeemable and I’m returning the laptop.

It’s huge af . U need a 16” case

Very nice gaming laptop

Si fue un problema importarla, pero contactando a DHL y a Amazon, me ayudaron a realizar el tramite, demoro una semana mas, pero valió la pena, la laptop es súper rápida, la pantalla es perfecta, es increíble la diferencia de usar un panel de 144 hz. La mejor opción en relacion costo/rendimiento.

Got it for a 1000$, 1000$ very well spent, I use it for gaming and training deep learning models offline,
